| Roy Hargrove and his Quintet were an amazing group of musicians.
We were extremely lucky to have him come to a venue with such an inexpensive admission.
If the musicians that come along to other Brooklyn Conservatory Events are as talented as Roy Hargrove, I would highly recommend them.

| This was one of the most intense jazz experiences we have ever had. My 17 year old son is a jazz trumpeter and especially enjoyed the passion of Roy Hargrove's performancve, along with his band members. I enjoyed the range of his expression. Overall it was wonderful and we are glad we attended. We are from San Diego and were in town looking at undergraduate music programs. |

| I can't say too much about Roy Hargrove without repeating all the great things that have already been said. I have never attended a Roy Hargrove performance and been disapointed. I've had the opportunity to see him with different musical formats; trio, quartet, quintet and nontet and big band as well as different locations; Montreal Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and even the Minetta Lane Theater in the West Village NY.
This time at one of the most intimate of settings I witness Roy and his bandmates (quintet) perform magic. Their playing was hard driving, superb, daring and on time. There were moments of balladic elegance, splashes of funk and straight up blues. I had a great time and felt as though I was locked in a special moment never to be repeated.
I had a moment when I found myself wishing that there was theatrical lighting to create the feel of the Blue Note or Village Vanguard; however, the music and the nsync exchange between all the band mates made me forget all that. I look forward to more concerts at the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory. |

| All of the musicians in the group were outstanding. The show was exciting from beginning to end. It would have been nice if there had been some verbal interaction with the audience, such as the name of the song etc. Also, the room was way too hot. |

| great music, great price, 1 hour is perfect. would have liked to hear the names of the songs --- a minor quibble. nice intro from staff - short and sweet. I'll come back. Last time I attended concert was mark murphy and sheila jordan - amazing that those two talents are underrecognized.... |

| Taj Mahal is one of the best performers I have ever seen live! He kept my group engaged the entire time. I can't wait to go to future performances that this organization arranges! |

| performance was spectacular - and also somewhat historic. Taj Mahal and Gravity have performed only once together since their highly regarded 1971 recording together. Knowing a number of the musicians personally, it was nice to see how they had evolved over the intervening 36 + years.
Zerve made it absolutely painless to purchase the tickets without the all too familiar exorbitant "service charge". |
